Application `llanuary 23, 1937, Serial No. 122,044 1 Claim. (Cl. 40-125) The present invention relates to an illumito chipvan'dsharp'corners -arethercfore`objec nated advertising device preferably adapted for tionable. The legs of the frame forming a part use with com controlled Scales, of the new device are receivable Within this ccn- The primary object cf the invention is the pron Cel/ed POrtOn and attached thereto as illus- 5 vision of an advertising device adapted to be trated in Fig 2 0f the drawing. 5

How- 30 of the application.

Two or more fasteners are is usually provided with a grooved or inwardly employed on each leg, 1t being understood that a concaved surface 8, see Fig. 2, for properly nishing the casing edge and to present a rounded threaded opening 1s provided Within the body corner. As is well known, scales casings are usportion of the scales for receiving the fastening ually constructed of a material which is liable elements. The fastening members 20 project 55 thru a cylindrical extension formed during the casting of the legs at the points Where said legs are drilled to receive the members. 'Ihe cylindrical extensions indicated by the numeral 20' permits counter boring at these points without materially weakening the leg structure. v By this manner, the device is firmly attached to the scales and the advertising matter appearing within the frame and the means for causing illumination thereof are securely protected. The frame may be made up of various designs so as to render the same more attractive to the individual scale to which it is to be attached. rI'he material for forming the frame and depending legs may be the same as that used in the manufacture of scales or may be of metal or other suitable material.

It is to be understood that this improvement is capable of extended application and is not conned to the exact showing of the drawing nor to the precise construction described and, therefore, such changes and modifications may be made therein as do not aiect the spirit of the invention nor exceed the scope thereof as expressed in the appended claim.

What is claimed as new is:

The combination with a scales casing having substantially vertically positioned grooves formed thereinin edge portions thereof, said grooves being in the same plane but disposed relative to each other in another than parallel relationship, of a display panel adapted to being superimposed upon said casing and including a pair of depending leg-like members forming a counter-part of said grooves and adapted to being received therein, said legs being disposed in the same plane but at a very small angle greater than a right angle relative to said panel and spaced further apart at their distal than at their proximal ends, whereby said panel is firmly held in position due at least in part to said spacing of said legs.
